Two lanes are now available into the Northbound Waterview Tunnel after being blocked earlier, but congestion remains heavy north from Dominion Rd, New Zealand Transport Agency says.

The crash had been blocking traffic coming from the Mt Roskill side of the tunnel.

Motorists are being urged to avoid this route until the crash scene can be fully cleared.

The NZ Transport Agency reported the crash at about 8am.

Earlier, at 7.35am, a breakdown was reported inside the tunnel heading in the same direction. That vehicle was said to be blocking the left northbound lane.
